Default Lack of GOBLin connections
wrote:
Hi,
I'm mildly disappointed in the lack of connections the GOBLin line has
with tube lines (very mildly - it's not one of the things that causes
me to lose sleep, but it is a shame.)
It crosses four tube lines (Cebtral, Victoria, Piccadilly and
Northern), yet only connects with one and that's only because the
Victoria line was built to connect with it.
I was wondering, was the GOBLin built after the tube lines? Does
anyone know the rationale behind its route? Have there ever been plans
to connect it with the lines it crosses? Which came first: the GOBLin
or the tube lines?!

No-one seems to have mentioned that the Victoria Line is kind of a
replacement for the Goblin. Whatever journeys would be done with the Goblin
if it had decent interchanges, or used to be done with the "Goblin" when it
ran to St Pancras, are done with the Vic instead. That's not much use if you
live in Crouch Hill or Harringay though.
